The Jeff Fisher Era is Almost Over
Or is it?
We can only hope this season spells the end of Jeff Fisher’s career as the Rams head coach. He’s in his fifth year and the team has yet to finish with a record of .500 or better, with the 2016 season set to make Fisher 5-for-5.
Most, if not all coaches around the league would be fired for such a run, and in the vast majority of those cases in three to four years. Fisher is still hanging on – albeit by a pinky – and we simply can’t predict what will happen since owner Stan Kroenke has let Fisher come this far.

Will Stan Kroenke Do the Right Thing?
One thing’s for certain: it isn’t going to look good for the franchise when Fisher, who is tied for the second-most losses by a head coach in NFL history, inevitably becomes the biggest loser to ever walk a sideline.
What possible explanation could be given for allowing that guy to continue his losing ways for FIVE seasons? And to let it continue in the team’s return to a big market in Los Angeles?
There’s just no way this can be allowed to happen. If Kroenke allows it, he’ll become a laughingstock. Some would wonder if Fisher has dirt on Kroenke, forcing him to employ the 58-year-old head coach.

The evidence against Fisher keeping his job past this season is overwhelming. Firing a coach has never been more of a slam dunk than this situation right here and Kroenke can either be a hero or major villain depending on his ultimate decision.
No extensions, Stan. Just move on and get this franchise on the right track.
